This former A+ list entertainer(singer) does not do as much singing any longer but is still probably A list when she does it. The rest of the time she acts. Movies mostly. She is also a world class complainer. At an event last week where she was a guest she started changing the seating arrangements and said that she would never sit next to certain people and then she told the waiters that she wanted her dessert first and then hated the dessert so had them make it again and then again before finally getting up and walking out.

This reminds me of when I go to a restauarnt with my Mom. We end up changing tables at least twice, then either there is too much air conditioning or not enough. We're lucky if she doesn't send her meal back at least once.

There's the old story about how Barbra was in Washington for the Clinton inauguration in Jan '93, when she didn't like the room she was given at the hotel. Naturally, she wanted the best room they had. Only thing - the best room was being occupied by Hillary and her mother and father that day. Barbra threw a fit and said she didn't care. The hotel offered to set her up with accommodations more to her liking - somewhere else. She calmed down after that and said she'd make do.

Sorry, but being talented and succesful and a living legend or whatever still doesn't justify bitch behavior. But I guess that people kissing your ass for 40+ years tends to alienate you from real world and decent behavior.

It's sooooo hard to believe people are this obnoxious I have to draw upon my days in retail, at Americas beloved upscale dept store with the silver boxes and the unbelievable return policy, most people were very nice and even fun but that 3% that wasn't is hard to believe too, if I hadn't seen it/lived it. And when they came in clusters I knew it was a full moon. And many of them were repeat offenders, coming in and pulling go the same shit over and over again. THANK GOD FOR THE BACK ROOM.

Hanei, of course not. Its just expected of her is all. No one likes it. A few years ago she was filming something in new york, and had the whole block blocked off. Well people trying to get home, couldnt. When informed it was La Steisand filming, the general concensus was," we dont give a shit and arent interested in her. We want to go home!!" And they did! Ya gotta love those new yorkers! Lol

I'm definitely in the minority but I have always despised Babs. Not dislike, despise. Can't stand her acting, can't stand her singing, can't stand her always being full of herself. This BI does not surprise me, though it could have been any one of a hundred actresses. Babs always plays this role. She cannot go away fast enough.

I think she suffers from some form of phobia or something, I know she has a fear of performing, but i think there is something else too, I remember reading about it or watching an interview once. I think it's come from years of people crowding her where ever she goes and she's very reclusive because of it. So ok the dessert thing was weird, but I give her a pass on it because maybe she was so stressed by being there she behaved unusually, you never know, and yeah, she's as a list as it gets.

She truly is a world-class complainer, so much that there's a term named after her: the Streisand effect.

The effect describes when a person tries to quiet down something, but ends up receiving much more publicity because of it.

There was a group studying the erosion of California beaches, and took aerial photos of all the coastlines. One showed Streisand's neighborhood along with cliffs and the ocean; her house is very small in the pic.

Nevertheless, she sued to have it removed from their archive, and lost. She was ordered to pay their legal fees and court costs. The photo itself went from about 6 views pre-kerfuffle to 420,000 after.

I read a huge (unauthorised) bio about Babs and was surprised she was a keen thrift shopper (clothes) in her early days.... She can't be too much of a diva at heart. I think a lot of her anxiety/need to control/hide stems from her son's rumoured health issues. He's her only one.

Xan- her issues stem from her fathers death when she was young girl. When her mother remarried, he constantly told how ugly, stupid and untalented she was. ( Why a mother wld EVER permit this, i dont know. Id kick his ass to the curb). And she was by no means conventially pretty, so she had all that crap to deal with. Explains her control and insecurity issues.
